System Functional Test Engineer

Untether in Silicon Valley/Toronto/Remote in North America

We’re looking for best in class engineers  to join our existing top-notch team.  When you join Untether AI, you will be part of the team that creates innovative hardware and delivers industry leading AI performance and efficiency. Utilizing non Von Neumann techniques, you will help propel sustainable AI inference .
As part of this talented team of engineers, you are able to - and are excited to - architect, implement, verify and productize custom hardware designs.  Being on our team means collaborating with an extremely bright group of people while tackling tough and interesting problems at the intersection of AI and hardware.

The ideal candidate should be familiar with the process of generating system level functional tests that can be converted for an Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) environment. This role requires a deep understanding of computer architecture, proficiency in C++ and scripting languages, experience working in a unix-based terminal, and knowledge of post-silicon manufacturing test requirements.
A little bit more about Untether AI

Untether AI has developed a groundbreaking new architecture that brings neural net inference to new levels of performance and efficiency.  We’ve already sold our product to smart clients who want to get in at ground zero.  We’ve done this while continuing to improve our technology creating ultra-efficient, high performance AI chips that eliminates the data movement bottleneck that costs energy and performance in traditional architectures.  We’re a team made up of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs and have the support of tier one investors. We recently received $125 million in our series B funding round which enables us to expand our customer engagements, enhance our software offering, and build the next generation of industry leading AI inference products. Join us to be part of something big - a chance to create the future of AI.
